[Mission accomplished. According to the target’s level of fear, points awarded: nine hundred points. Current cumulative points: one thousand and five hundred points.] The System’s notification arrived almost immediately. Chen Mu was shocked to see that he had earned an insane amount of nine hundred points.
After giving it some thought, Chen Mu decided that it was reasonable. A counter pick had been beaten to the point that it was suddenly at a disadvantage. Additionally, the player was harassed so much until he could no longer farm; the mental pressure he faced should be rather debilitating.
Chen Mu wondered if a mission of similar nature would trigger if he was the one who insulted his opponent? Would it not be perfect if Chen Mu could accumulate two thousand points and qualify for two draws in one go?
Chen Mu thought about how below the belt it would be. Then, he locked in the Tidal Trickster and hit ‘confirm’.
“Eff me!” Liu Fei felt so angered over Chen Mu’s champion choice that he almost flew out of his seat. What was Chen Mu trying to say? Was Chen Mu trying to murder him by insulting everything he stood for?
‘Are you saying my Little Merman was too noob, and you’re going to present a demonstration yourself?’
Liu Fei selected the Card Master but he did not dare click ‘confirm’!
“Don’t do it, bro. That player is clearly better than you. Your Cardsharp might not be able to fight his Merman.” Specs was afraid that Liu Fei had gotten too triggered and tried to console him.
“Then, tell me what champion I should choose.” Liu Fei did not want to think anymore. He was allowing anger to cloud his judgment.
Liu Fei never knew that such a simple emote, laughing, could cause him such trouble. ‘Goddamnit, he must be the devil himself. What a bully!’
“Choose Clockwork and keep farming. We’ll focus on winning late game this round,” Specs said.
“Alright, Clockwork then.” Liu Fei hit ‘confirm’.
‘Seems like he doesn’t understand why he was completely crushed by me.’ Chen Mu felt nothing but pity for Liu Fei. Initially, Chen Mu planned on using basic attacks on the minion wave, granting the opposing team a chance to manipulate the wave. Then, Chen Mu would force himself to figure out a way to tilt the game back in his favor. Sadly, Chen Mu’s opponents were playing at a much lower standard. They were unable to even figure out the reason as to why they got crushed, what more not capitalizing on advantages in the previous match.
The enemy team locked in Clockwork without hesitation. They intended to farm and get ready for the late game.
Their champion pick was not that insane of a choice. The best method to counter Little Merman was to use Kassadin and farm at a similar pace, utilizing Kassadin’s passive to reduce magic damage received for the sake of reaching the same level as Merman without getting punished too hard. Having selected Clockwork, they could abandon all thoughts of taking down Little Merman. It was truly an unimpressive choice.
By the time Liu Fei had calmed down and realized that such a problem existed, the match had started. Nevertheless, he convinced himself that it would not be too much of a problem for him. After all, he was pretty well-known in high-level matches for his farming skills. He doubted that he would get crushed as Clockwork.
Liu Fei walked down mid lane and came to see a turquoise Little Merman laughing and dancing maniacally.
Liu Fei felt a surge of fury flood his head. ‘You’re even mimicking my dancing after leaving your base! Where is your sportsmanship as an expert player?’
Liu Fei reciprocated without hesitation as Clockwork started dancing awkwardly.
“Ding! Mission triggered. The Unkillable Demon King’s dignity must not be challenged. Liu Fei, who provoked the Unkillable Demon King twice, must be punished. Your mission: Kill Liu Fei’s Lady of Clockwork until she becomes a ‘Legendary Feeder’. The points awarded range from a hundred to a thousand and is dependant on the number of deaths she suffers.” As Chen Mu had hypothesized, his actions could trigger a system mission.
Chen Mu could not hold in his laughter. He cupped his mouth and laughed. Chen Mu felt sorry for Liu Fei for being so unlucky. Chen Mu suddenly felt like he could insult anyone. However, if that someone else reciprocated the insult, they would have to be killed until they became a Legendary Feeder. ‘Oh, System, you flirt. I like you when you’re like this. No wonder you’re called the Unkillable Demon King System. You’re ruthless.’
“What are you laughing at?” asked Shi Geng beside him.
“Nothing. I just thought of something that makes me happy,” Chen Mu answered.
